This September, Kolkata’s Birla Academy of Art & Culture will open its doors to a vibrant showcase titled “BEYOND THE VISION”, a group exhibition of visual arts organized by ARTVERSE. Scheduled from 9 to 14 September 2025, the show promises to be a dynamic platform where creativity, experimentation, and dialogue converge.
Group exhibitions hold a special place in the art world, as they allow multiple voices to come together under one roof. BEYOND THE VISION carries this spirit forward by featuring works from a diverse range of contemporary artists. Each participant brings their own narrative, medium, and style, resulting in a rich tapestry of perspectives. Viewers can expect to encounter paintings, mixed-media works, installations, and digital explorations that reflect both individual journeys and collective concerns.
The title itself suggests looking past the obvious—moving beyond surface appearances to grasp deeper meanings. In today’s fast-paced world, where images and visuals often bombard us without context, this exhibition aims to slow down the gaze. Visitors will be encouraged to pause, reflect, and discover how art can function as a bridge between imagination and reality.
For Kolkata’s audiences, BEYOND THE VISION is also a celebration of the city’s growing role as a hub for contemporary expression. The Birla Academy, with its history of hosting pioneering exhibitions, provides the perfect backdrop. The event will not only spotlight established practitioners but also highlight emerging artists who are redefining visual culture in India.
More than an exhibition, BEYOND THE VISION is an invitation: to engage, to question, and to see differently. For art enthusiasts, students, and casual visitors alike, this week-long show is set to be a memorable chapter in Kolkata’s art calendar of 2025.
